1992 SATURN SL2 User Comment / Complaint

We were driving on the highway going 70 mph when the steering wheel came loose and fell off causing me to lose complete control of the car. we were in the far right lane of three lanes and the car pulled us across the other two lanes, down a very steep ditch and into the median where we hit many small trees. before the accident, there was no evidence of any problem with the steering wheel, nor did we ever tamper with the steering wheel. the drivers side is getting the back door and panel replaced and the back bumper also needs to be replaced as well as the steering wheel. nonetheless, my wife and i nearly lost our lives because of this failure.
